The latest manifesto launch comes from the Labour Party. It is 136 pages long and there is no mention of Cornwall.

The document includes section about “Scottish devolution and the Scotland Office” and ”Welsh devolution and Wales Office.” There a number of references to the “nations and regions.”

Relevant extracts from the election manifesto about devolution include:

“Labour will transfer power out of Westminster, and into our communities, with landmark devolution legislation to take back control.”

“In England, Labour will deepen devolution settlements for existing Combined Authorities. We will also widen devolution to more areas, encouraging local authorities to come together and take on new powers. Towns and cities will be able to take hold of the tools they need to pursue growth, create jobs, and improve living standards. Local areas will be able to gain new powers over transport, adult education and skills, housing and planning, and employment support. We will ensure those places have the strong governance arrangements, capacity, and capability to deliver, providing central support where needed.”

“Labour is committed to replacing the House of Lords with an alternative second chamber that is more representative of the regions and nations. Labour will consult on proposals, seeking the input of the British public on how politics can best serve them.”

“Labour will renew opportunities for the Prime Minister and Heads of Devolved Government to collaborate with each other. As recommended in the Report of the Commission on the UK’s future, we will establish a new Council of the Nations and Regions. This will bring together the Prime Minister, the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales, the First and deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, and the Mayors of Combined Authorities. The next Labour government will also ensure that UK-wide bodies are more representative of our nations and regions.”
